Johnny Cash's American Recording Lyrics

Pages

Came to Believe was a lost song found by Cash's son when he was making order of his father's estate. The song is from a forgotten recording session in 1981 or '84 for Columbia Records. It was released as part of a post humous album called Out Among the Stars.

Lyrics

I couldn't manage the problems I laid on myselfAnd it just made it worse when I laid them on somebody elseSo I finally surrendered it all brought down in despairI cried out for help and I felt a warm comforter there

And I came to believe in a power much higher than II came to believe that I needed help to get byIn childlike faith I gave in and gave him a tryAnd I came to believe in a power much higher than I

Nothing worked out when I handled it all on my ownAnd each time I failed it made me feel twice as aloneThen I cried, "Lord there must be a sure and easier wayFor it just cannot be that a man should lose hope every day."

I'm Movin' On lyrics by Johnny Cash from the Out Amongst the Stars album.

Originally a tune made popular by Hank Snow, a very popular Candian singer. It's no surprise to see a Snow cover here as Cash recorded a cover of another of his songs, I don't hurt anymore for American Recordings VI.

Lyrics

That big eight wheeler a rollin' down the track
Means your true lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky
So I'm movin' on

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the Southland, we're comin' to you
And we're movin' on, oh hear my song
You had the laugh on me, so I've set you free
And I'm movin' on

Mister Fireman, won't you please listen to me?
'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
So shovel the coal, let this rattle a roll
And keep movin' me on

Mister Engineer take that throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
To keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
You're gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin' on

I warned you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You have broken your vow and it's all over now
So I'm movin' on

You switched your engine now I ain't got time
For a triflin' woman on my main line
'Cause I'm movin' on, you done your daddy wrong
I've warned you twice, now you can settle the price
'Cause I'm movin' on

Baby Ride easy was a song composed by Richard Dobson a singer song writer who kicked around during the 1970s. Many of his works have been covered by other more popular artists. Cash's version of this song was not released until 2014.

Of interest, Cash's step daughter June released a popular version of this song.

Baby Rise Easy Lyrics

If I drove a truck
And I were waitress
And I ordered coffee
And I poured you some

Then you'd stop by
On your way sometime later
And if we arm-wrestled
I'd say that you won

My baby, ride easy
Ride high in the saddle all day
If your lovin' is good

It was Cash's son John who found this song whilst making a catalogue of all the recordings his father and mother had made that were stored as part of their estate. Apparently Columbia had forgetton Cash did the sessions in the first have of the 80s and so did everyone else.

She Used to Love Me a Lot was released as part of the posthumus album, Out Among the Stars.

Lyrics

I saw her through the window todayShe was sittin' in the Silver Spoon cafeI started to keep goingBut something made me stopShe used to love me a lot

She looked lonely and I knew the cure Old memories would win her heart for sureI thought I'd walk on in thereAnd give it my best shotShe used to love me a lot

I sat down beside her and she smiledShe said where have you been it's been awhileShe seemed so glad to see meLord, I could read her thoughtsShe used to love me a lot

She used to love me with a love that wouldn't dieLooking at her now I can't believe i said good-byeIt would only take a minute to turn back the clockShe used to love me a lot

Well I reminded her how good it was back thenI said you know it's not to late to start againWe could spend a night togetherTake up where we left offShe used to love me a lot

Then I panicked as she turned to walk awayAs she went out the door I heard her sayYes I'm in need of somethingBut it's something you ain't gotBut I used to love you a lot

Chorus

She used to love me with a love that wouldn't dieLooking at her now I can't believe she said good-byeIt would only take a minute to turn back that ol' clockShe used to love me a lotShe used to love me a lotShe used to love me a lot ...
